"to the general Security."
The case he has all along in view
and to which for the purpose of justifying
it he all along shapes his argument is
the practice which among the higher powers
he supposes to be proved viz for one out
of ten judgements sentencing a man to the
punishment of death, the law conformed
to on the part of those who

exhibits, in his view, as he presently
after to be seen declares the very perfection
of good policy; nor will he permit himself
to conceive as possible any other
course than that of keeping in fact these
sanguinary laws as they stand and
giving execution.

is - that these sanguinary laws
(by which every man who does any thing
wrong is to be hanged) must stand
